"You ever feel like you are being watched when you use the internet?"
specifically when looking at strangers fuck on the internet.
my laptop camera has had black electrical tape over the camera for this exact reason.
when I'm about to look at some devious shit I close out any and all google related tabs (gmail, etc). I close out any and all facebook tabs. I close out any cisco/oracle/chat/messaging products.
Yet, even with all that...I cant shake the feeling that I'm being watched.
I don't mean this from a POV that I am important enough to be watched but more that any and all information is being collected at all times.

i log out of Google and FB after each use that required me to log in. it's in part b/c i'd rather not have either of those entities track what i'm doing on the Internet. and by logging out i think i keep them from doing so. i'm not sure if that's true but it makes me feel better.

should download and use the Tor browser. Dunno how much it helps in terms of potential tracking from cookies, but it'll help to shield tracking via your IP address since it masks your identity.
I find it funny for folks to worry about being tracked while using social media, but I guess that's another post altogether.
